2 A single lie discovered is enough to create doubt in every truth expressed.

Isn’t it crazy how just one lie can completely change all of the truths you’ve heard?

3 Breaking someone’s trust is like crumpling up a perfect piece of paper. You can smooth it over but it’s never going to be the same again.

This is just one of the unfortunate truths; if you lie to someone, you’ve messed something up that can never really, truly be repaired.

4 Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.

Undoubtedly one of the BEST trust quotes you will ever read; why? Because it’s so undeniably true! Trust truly is a flaky thing that can be broken instantly, but it can’t be repaired as quickly as it is broken.

5 If you want to be trusted, be honest.

That’s so true! You can’t expect to be trusted by anyone if you’re never being honest about anything, right? So the next time you’re wondering why someone doesn’t trust you… Ask yourself, have you been completely honest with them and deserving of their trust?

6 Stop asking me to trust you while I’m still coughing up water from the last time you let me drown.

A very powerful, emotional, and deep quote that really hits the heart.

7 Without communication, there is no relationship. Without respect, there is no love. Without trust, there’s no reason to continue.

So, so true- relationships require communication, respect, AND trust in order to work.

8 Only trust someone who can see these three things in you: the sorrow behind your smile, the love behind your anger, and the reason behind your silence.

That’s right! Only trust someone who can do these things, it will be the benefit for you in the long run.

9 When you start to wonder whether you can trust someone or not, that is when you already know you don’t.

Always remember this, because you should NEVER have to question your trust for someone.

10 I respect people that tell me the truth. No matter how hard it is.

Truth is always better than a lie, that’s for sure.

11 Forgiving them isn’t the hard part. It’s trusting them again.

Yes, especially because trust is such a hard thing to gain back after you’ve lost it.

12 Don’t trust everything you see. Even salt looks like sugar.

The worst part about this quote is it’s TRUE! Not everything looks the way it really is, just like sugar and salt- wow.

13 Trusting you is my decision. Proving me right is your choice.

Because people will either work to build on trust and be honest, or break it- it is NOT under your control!

14 My love is unconditional. My trust and my respect are not.

You can still love someone without trusting and respecting them.

15 Relationships are about trust. If you have to play detective, then it’s time to move on.

Yes, if you don’t trust your partner and feel the need to snoop on them, then there’s a huge problem at hand.

16 If the words don’t add up, it’s usually because the truth wasn’t included in the equation.

A little bit of math for ya, but you have to admit that it’s undeniably true.

17 Love is giving someone the power to destroy you, but trusting them not to.

Love is SUCH a crazy thing, isn’t it? And if you don’t trust someone not to break your heart, how can you fall in love with them? Yes, things happen, but trust this person before you take the plunge into love.

18 The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren’t worth the truth.

That’s definitely true- like, why weren’t you good enough to know the absolute truth? What hurts more, the actual lie or knowing you didn’t mean enough to get the truth? That hurts deep!

19 When you have a good heart: you help too much, you trust too much, you give too much, you love too much, and it always seems you hurt the most.

Isn’t that the sad truth? Good hearts always seemed to be stomped on.

20 I trusted you, but now your words mean nothing because your actions spoke the truth.

It really hurts when someone says one thing, but does the other, and you find out they are nothing but a big liar!

21 Trust is like an eraser, it gets smaller and smaller after every mistake.

I love this analogy! Gives a great visual about trust, and I think we can ALL agree with this.

22 Tell a lie once and all your truths become questionable.

Hmm, so true. One little lie can screw up all the ‘truths’ you told, because maybe those were lies that went unnoticed.

23 I learned not to trust people; I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do; I learned to suspect that anyone and everyone is capable of ‘living a lie’. I came to believe that other people- even when you think you know them well- are ultimately unknowable.

Everyone is capable of ANYONE!

24 Trust the vibes you get. Energy doesn’t lie.

If something FEELS a certain way, it probably IS that way!

25 Three things you should never break: promises, trust, and someone’s heart.

Yes! Completely agree with this quote, and I think you will too.

26 Never trust someone who takes hours to text you back, but when you’re with them they always have their phone in their hand, texting.

Obviously they don’t consider you a priority if they’re doing something like this.

27 When you fully trust someone without any doubt, you finally get one of two results: a person for life or a lesson for life.

It’s true, because they’ll either be trustworthy until the end of time, or show you that they should’ve never been trusted in the first place..

28 I hate being lied straight to my face when I know every bit of the truth.

Isn’t this the worst? You know they’re lying, but they still try telling you a lie right to your face; just awful.

29 She was so used to lies, that the truth confused her. –Jeff Hood

It’s rather unfortunate, but when you’ve been hurt too many times, this is how you end up.

30 I do not trust words. I even question actions. But I never doubt patterns.

Because everyone has a certain pattern that they follow, and that’s just the truth.

31 There are two reasons why we don’t trust people. First- we don’t know them. Second- we know them.

Yup, because we can’t trust people we do not know, but then again, if we know someone is a notorious liar, we can’t trust them either. Wow!

32 Don’t be sorry, I trusted you. My mistake, not yours.

Sometimes we make a mistake when we decide to trust someone. It hurts, but sometimes that’s just the way it is.

33 Grab a plate and throw it on the ground. –Okay, done. Did it break? –Yes. Now say sorry to it. –Sorry. Did it go back to the way it was before? –No. Do you understand?

I LOVE this little short story! It shows how fragile the truth is, and a simple sorry won’t fix a big lie that broke the trust in the first place.

34 Be careful who you trust, the devil was once an angel.

A very powerful quote, but a great one nonetheless.

35 A woman with trust issues is a woman who’s heard ‘I promise I’ll never hurt you’ too many times with actions that told otherwise.

Very sad when a woman is constantly broken in this way.

36 Deep down you already know the truth.

It’s true- we always know the truth deep down inside, and we should act on that feeling.

37 It takes a lot of courage and trust to look past what you’ve been through, and trust someone new not to put you through it again.

It is an incredibly hard thing to do, but we can’t give up- there’s someone out there who won’t let us down and break our trust, we just have to find them, even though the journey may be hard.

38 Be a woman other women can trust. Have the courage to tell another woman direct when she has offended, hurt or disappointed you. Successful women have a loyal tribe of loyal and honest women behind them. Not haters. Not backstabbers or women who whisper behind their back. Be a woman who lifts other women. –Sophia A. Nelson

There definitely needs to be more women like this- be one of them.

39 Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned.

Perfectly said!

40 God knows who belongs in your life and who doesn’t. Trust and let go. Whoever is meant to be there, will still be there.

A great quote for my religious readers out there- God will always lead you to those who should really be there.

41 Love many, trust few. Always paddle your own canoe.

This is kind of a silly quote, and it rhymes! But it’s also very true. You should love a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean you have to trust them. And never rely on anyone else- ‘always paddle your own canoe’ basically means look after yourself and don’t rely on others.

42 I don’t trust easily. So when I tell you that ‘I trust you’, please don’t make me regret it.

So true! I think most of us don’t trust very easily, so if we trust someone, we really don’t want them to screw it up.

43 ‘Sorry’ works when a mistake is made, but not when trust is broke. So in life, make mistakes but never break trust. Because forgiving is easy, but forgetting and trusting again is sometimes impossible.

I met and fell for this guy. He called me and asked me to meet him out, I was at a party so couldn’t meet up with him. So a couple of days later I text him and say it was nice to hear his voice. Next police call ME and say I’m stalking him! His friend (I realize) sees me at a cafe and literally follows me to a table next to me, then the guy turns up to sit with him! I love him! Often I find him where I am and he’s staring at me? What would he report me to the police when he is the one stalking me?

If he called the police on you for any reason, then there is no reason for you to continue a relationship with him. Either he, or a family member, called the police on you because you contacted him. Put him in your past and move on. Legal troubles are not worth developing because of a passing interest in a person that you are not in a relationship with.

So should I go to the police? It’s very distressing to be watched, stared at and followed, I was naive and thought it was a sign that he was interested in me but if that’s not the case then its harrass net and stalking.

It is strongly advisable for you to speak to the police when you are being harassed and stalked. If you are able to speak to someone who can stop him from stalking or harassing you, then do so. If you find that are you not in danger and his actions have stopped, then it would be wise to leave the situation as soon as possible. If you are able to leave the situation, then speak with him in loudly in public and tell him that you do not want him around or bothering you. If he continues, then it would be a good time to call the police for harassment and stalking.
